Whether someone is on site as a surveyor, inspector, worker or visitor, working at height needs careful consideration and planning.
The number of site falls from ladders is worryingly high. Take steps to reduce the incidence with a plan to eliminate, isolate and minimise the possibility.
Since established homebuilders Breen Homes introduced new guidelines for working at height, they’ve noticed improvements in financial and business results and the company’s health and safety culture.
Careful practices are needed on site when managing the removal of potentially mouldy materials from leaky homes. These include adding mould to the hazard plan and covering the issue in project meetings.
Costs can be lowered and accidents avoided if time is spent thinking about safety at a project’s design stage. This can range from the number of employees and the materials used, through to putting in permanent safety systems.
